Such a beautiful campsite. Perfectly close to the shops and far enough you don’t feel close to the city. And only a short drive to all my favorite hikes. Less than 15 minutes. Will definitely be back.

This is the first time we stayed at Pine Glen. We did drive to Lake Mary to go in the water and took a hike at Emerald Lake. We had 4 younger kids and even though that hike was not rated hard - it was uphill and very tiring for the kids (3-7). We were in one of the group sites #11. It was a nice site for the kids to run around. It is a nice campground, the bathrooms by us were a little tired looking - but clean. Not the nice brick ones. The elevation isn't as high as the campgrounds around Lake Mary - so you even though you are in the mountains - it was hot during the day and you don't get that forest feeling. That said, you also didn't have mosquitos. It is right next to Hwy 203 - so we heard the road noise when you're trying to go to sleep and that's what we woke up to. You want to want to wake up to quiet and birds... not a Hwy. Not sure I would stay there again - we prefer the higher elevation - more forest feeling and not right next to the highway and town.

The campground was clean and quiet. Lots of space between camps. Lots of trees provided shade for relaxing and the breeze was nice as well. had some large group sites as well. Bathroom was clean and had flush toilets and a sink. we were close to the lakes , Mary.Maimi, George, horseshoe, and Twin. easy access to lots of view poihts. An hour drive to Yosemite, Looked at other campgrounds while we were there and will most likely go back to Pine Glen.

It was beautiful and I love that it has a complete feeling of seclusion but it's a 5 min drive into town if you absolutely need something and 5-10 min away from every hiking trail. I will camp here again

Great campground for a group but, too many bears! They visited us at least once a day/nights and destroyed 2 tents. We'll still go back.

The site caretaker was awesome. Friendly, informative, and courteous. The campsites were orderly and the bathrooms clean. A little hard to find the camping area especially when driving in at night.

A group of 12 friends and I camped at Pine Glen while in Mammoth for the Mammoth Gran Fondo. It's a great campground, very clean, and the sites are perfect for sharing with large groups. I will stay here again!
